World Series Game 5: LA Dodgers at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s LA Dodgers at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The LA Dodgers and New York Yankees meet in Game 5 of the best-of-7 World Series Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 8:08 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Dodgers vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Series: Dodgers lead 3-1

The Yankees staved off elimination in Game 4 with an emphatic 11-4 victory. New York fell into a 2-0 hole, as Dodgers 1B Freddie Freeman launched a 2-run HR in the top of the 1st inning off of RHP Luis Gil, quieting the crowd for a while.

Freeman set a MLB record with a HR in each of his past 6 World Series games dating back to 2021 when he was with the Atlanta Braves. He is the first player in Major League history to homer in the first 4 games of a single World Series, too.

However, the crowd came alive in the bottom of the 3rd, as SS Anthony Volpe delivered a go-ahead grand slam to make it 5-2. L.A. was able to close it 5-4 in the top of the 5th, but the Yankees went wild with 5 in the bottom of the 8th to secure the victory and avoid the embarrassing sweep. Now, New York tries to force the series back to Southern California.

Volpe ended up with 4 RBI, and he was joined in the homer club by C Austin Wells, who launched a 2-run HR in the bottom of the 6th off of RHP Landon Knack. 2B Gleyber Torres got in on the fun with a 3-run HR in the bottom of the 8th.

Dodgers at Yankees projected starters

RHP Jack Flaherty vs. RHP Gerrit Cole

Flaherty (13-7, 3.17 ERA) made 28 regular-season starts. He had a 1.07 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 10.8 K/9 in 162 IP with the Detroit Tigers and Dodgers.

2024 road splits (regular season): 8-3, 2.94 ERA (88 2/3 IP, 29 ER), 1.03 WHIP, 22 BB, 108 K, .210 opponents’ batting average (OBA) in 16 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Dodgers at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 5, Dodgers 3

Moneyline

The YANKEES (-150) are a good play behind Cole, as New York tries to force this series back to Southern California, extending its season.

The Yankees were finally able to get some decent late-inning pitching work, while using the long ball to get their first victory in this series.

This is exactly why the Yankees added Cole to the pitching rotation a few years back. The California kid will try and force this thing back to his native Golden State.

Run line/Against the spread

If you’re a little more adventurous, consider YANKEES -1.5 (+140) to get the job done.

This isn’t likely to be like Game 4, where there were a lot of runs scored in the later innings. It’s always tough to win that championship-clinching last game, so the Dodgers +1.5 (-165) aren’t the play. New York has a little confidence back after Game 4, and it should build on that and add a little more swagger in Game 5.

Over/Under

Over/Under 8 should be avoided, as I expect the total to come down right on the number.

If anything, the slight lean would be to the Under. After a pair of 4-2 decisions in Games 2 and 3, we had an Over in Game 4. We should get back to the solid pitching and some tightness at the plate, as the intensity ratchets up the deeper we go into the series.

The best move is to PASS, and just focus on the moneyline or run line.

World Series Game 4: LA Dodgers at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s LA Dodgers at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The LA Dodgers and New York Yankees meet in Game 4 of the best-of-7 World Series Tuesday at Yankee Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 8:08 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Dodgers vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Series: Dodgers lead 3-0

The Dodgers pushed the Yankees to the brink of elimination with a 4-2 victory in Game 3 Monday night in the Bronx. It was a well-pitched game, with each team collecting 5 hits apiece. The Dodgers were +131 underdogs and the Under (8) cashed.

Dodgers 1B Freddie Freeman came up with the big blow, smacking a 2-run HR in the top of the 1st inning as he zeroes in on World Series MVP honors. It was enough to back SP Walker Buehler, who twirled 5 scoreless innings before turning it over to the bullpen.

Yankees LF Alex Verdugo made things interesting with a 2-run, 2-out HR in the bottom of the 9th inning off of RP Michael Kopech, but that’s as close as the Bronx Bombers could get. Yankees CF Aaron Judge did not rise as he was hitless again with a walk and a strikeout, slipping to .140 (6-for-43) in the postseason, including 1-for-12 in the Series.

Dodgers at Yankees projected starters

TBD vs. RHP Luis Gil

The Dodgers are expected to go with a bullpen game and they haven’t named a starter as of this publishing. Possibilities include LHP Anthony Banda (1 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 2 BB, 3 K in 3 games of this World Series) and RHP Ryan Brasier (1 IP, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K in 1 game of this WS).

Gil (15-7, 3.50 ERA) made 29 regular-season starts. He had a 1.19 WHIP, 4.6 BB/9 and 10.1 K/9 in 151 1/3 innings.

Last start (only career postseason appearance): No-decision, 4 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 3 BB, 3 K in 8-6 win at Cleveland Guardians in Game 4 of ALCS Oct. 18
2024 home splits (regular season): 6-4, 3.57 ERA (75 2/3 IP, 30 ER), 1.18 WHIP, 11.1 K/9 .184 opponents’ batting average (OBA) in 15 starts
Career vs. Dodgers: 1 start in 2024, no-decision, 5 2/3 IP, 3 ER, 5 H (1 HR), 1 BB, 5 K in 6-4 home win June 9

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Dodgers at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 4, Dodgers 3

Moneyline

The YANKEES (-145) have to have a little bit of pride, right?

New York heads into this game with its backs against the wall. It’s a tall order trying to dig out of an 3-0 hole. It sounds cliche, but the team will need to take it one game at a time.

We saw the Edmonton Oilers in a similar spot in this past year’s Stanley Cup Final vs. the Florida Panthers. Down 3-0 in the best-of-7 series, the Oilers fought back to force a Game 7 before losing 2-1 in the deciding game on the road.

The home crowd at Yankee Stadium should spur on the Bronx Bombers Tuesday night, and Gil pitches them to see another day.

Run line/Against the spread

AVOID.

I’m not going to bother in hoping the Yankees -1.5 (+140) win by at least 2 runs.

BetMGM Sportsbook is offering an alternate line of Yankees +1.5 (-250), but that is way too pricey. You can’t risk 2½ times the potential return as that’s not smart sports gambling.

If you like the Yankees, just bet them straight up.

Over/Under

UNDER 8.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board.

The last win is the hardest to get in a championship series. You can expect both teams to be a little tight. We saw some signs of that in Game 3 as the total went Under despite a pair of 2-run homers in the game.

We also had a 4-2 score in Game 2 as the Under cashed. Let’s go UNDER again, even though it’s a little disconcerting finalizing that pick before the Dodgers announce their starter.

World Series Game 3: LA Dodgers at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s LA Dodgers at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The LA Dodgers visit the New York Yankees as the World Series moves to Gotham for Game 3. First pitch from Yankee Stadium is slated for 8:08 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Dodgers vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Series: Dodgers lead 2-0; LA took 2 of 3 games from the Yankees in the regular season

Los Angeles got the better starting pitching in Games 1 and 2 at Dodger Stadium. Since falling behind the San Diego Padres 2 games to 1 in the NLDS, the Dodgers have now filed 8 wins against just 2 losses. 1B Freddie Freeman backed up his big Game 1 grand slam with another HR in Game 2. He’s part of an LA attack that has banged out 20 HRs in the last 10 games.

DH Shohei Ohtani’s left shoulder may be sore, but the Dodgers star is expected to play Game 3. Manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani was cleared to play after being examined Sunday in Southern California, a day after he suffered a partial dislocation of his left shoulder in an attempted steal of second base. If you’re curious, the BetMGM Sportsbook odds that he hits a HR in Game 3 are +350 (-500 that he doesn’t).

New York has to hope a change of scenery will reinvigorate its offense. The Yankees went just 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position over Games 1 and 2. CF Aaron Judge has been most emblematic of New York’s hitting woes. Over the club’s last 5 games, Judge is 3-for-22 with a walk and 13 strikeouts. BetMGM Sportsbook has him at +240 to homer Monday (-300 that he doesn’t).

Dodgers at Yankees projected starters

RHP Walker Buehler vs. RHP Clarke Schmidt

Buehler (1-6, 5.38 ERA) made 16 starts in the regular season. He registered a 1.55 WHIP, 3.4 BB/9 and 7.7 K/9 in 75 1/3 IP.

Last outing: No-decision, 4 IP, 0 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, 6 K in 8-0 win at New York Mets Oct. 16 (NLCS Game 3)
Owns a 3.25 ERA across 88 2/3 career postseason innings
Has never faced the Yankees

Schmidt (5-5, 2.85 ERA) also had a 16-start regular season. He authored a 1.18 WHIP, 3.2 BB/9 and 9.8 K/9 in 85 1/3 IP.

Last outing: No-decision, 4 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 2 BB, 2 K in 7-5 loss vs. Cleveland Guardians Oct. 17 (ALCS Game 3)
Has never faced the Dodgers

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Dodgers at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 6, Dodgers 5

Moneyline

New York is 4-1 over its last 5 home games, and with what the Yankees showed after losses to the Kansas City Royals in the ALDS and Cleveland Guardians in the ALCS they are the lean for getting this game.

Albeit in a small sample size, but Buehler was torched on the road in the regular season (6.53 ERA, 1.71 WHIP in 30 1/3 IP). Schmidt has some iffy outings going back into mid-September, but analytics would say he’s been a bit unfairly dinged across those recent starts. And the New York bullpen does get a reset after Sunday’s travel day.

The lean is on the Yanks cranking out good, patient at-bats and getting back in this Series. But the pricing here makes them a small lean. Consider a partial-unit play on NEW YORK (-145).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS: No interest here.

Over/Under

The strongest play in this match-up is the OVER 8.5 (-115).

Both starters are taking to the mound on long rest. That’s been a particular issue for Schmidt, who has yielded a long-rest (6-plus days) OPS of .849 over his career.

Mix in the bullpens being a bit “seen” so far, and batters figure to get fewer surprises. The Dodgers filed a .924 OPS across 3 games at Citi Field in the NLCS, and they own a .926 OPS across their last 13 road games.

Dating back into September, the Yanks have filed solid run totals in returns to Yankee Stadium after being on the road. That includes scoring 6 runs against Kansas City Oct. 5 and 5 runs vs. Cleveland Oct. 14.

TAKE THE OVER 8.5 (-115).

Los Angeles Dodgers at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Dodgers (41-25) and New York Yankees (45-21) clash Sunday night as they wrap up a 3-game set in the Bronx. First pitch at Yankee Stadium is slated for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 2-0

Los Angeles won 2-1 in 11 innings Friday and then clobbered New York 11-3 Saturday. The Dodgers head into Sunday’s finale looking for a 3-game sweep and their 4th win a row.

In this series, the Yankees have gone just 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position. They are looking to avoid what would be just their 2nd 3-game losing streak of the season.

Dodgers at Yankees projected starters

RHP Tyler Glasnow vs. RHP Luis Gil
Glasnow (6-4, 2.93 ERA) is lined up for his 14th start. He has a 0.90 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 11.7 K/9 in 80 IP.

Last outing: Loss, 6 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, 9 K in 1-0 loss at Pittsburgh Pirates Tuesday
Career vs. Yankees: 4-2, 2.74 ERA (49 1/3 IP, 15 ER), 31 H, 21 BB, 63 K in 9 starts

Gil (8-1, 1.82 ERA) makes his 13th start. He has a 0.92 WHIP, 4.4 BB/9 and 11.0 K/9 in 69 1/3 IP.

Last outing: Win, 6 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 3 BB, 6 K in 5-1 win vs. Minnesota Twins Tuesday
Has never faced the Dodgers
Has allowed just 1 HR among 12 total hits across his last 32 1/3 IP

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dodgers at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Yankees 3

Moneyline

The mound foes in this one could well be the starters in the All-Star Game, but a slight nod goes to Glasnow, who has held current Yankee batters to an aggregate .563 OPS per ESPN. The Dodgers hurler has been exceptional away from Chavez Ravine, clocking a 1.66 ERA, 0.74 WHIP.

More so than Glasnow, Gil has had his tremendous numbers propped up by a low 6% rate of fly balls leaving parks as home runs, and he’s worked through the lighter traffic on the bases by way of a .178 batting average on balls in play. That does not mean Gil isn’t a marvelous talent, just that when overrating game results by percentage points, his impact looms large.

The Dodgers are a lean but not a great return with this tag. The RL pricing looks more favorable. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Eight of the Dodgers’ last 9 wins have been by multi-run cushions. Over their last 3 series finales, the Dodgers are 3-0 and have outscored their opponents 25-10.

The weather forecast calls for an outward wind blowing to right-center, and Gil relies more on fly-ball outs.

MVP candidate Juan Soto has missed the 1st 2 games of this series with a forearm injury, and his absence greatly affects the New York lineup. Even if he returns Sunday, he’s now dealing with timing issues after being out and is trying to do so against a prolific strikeout pitcher in Glasnow.

The return on the Dodgers is solid here. BACK LOS ANGELES -1.5 (+140).

Over/Under

The last 9 Yankees games have seen 7 Unders.

There is upward pressure in the long-term pitching/defense numbers for both sides and a bit more offense likely in the tank for LA. The price here is a good one.

BET THE OVER 7.5 (-115).

Los Angeles Dodgers at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Dodgers (40-25) and New York Yankees (45-20) play the 2nd game of a 3-game set Saturday. First pitch from Yankee Stadium is slated for 7:35 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 1-0

Los Angeles and New York engaged in a 9-inning bagel exchange in Friday’s opener. A pitchers’-duel 0-0 score made it to the 11th, and the Dodgers emerged victorious in trading 1 run for 2.

The Yankees had won 8 straight before losing Friday. RF Juan Soto, who is tied with teammate CF Aaron Judge for the MLB lead in WAR according to FanGraphs, missed Friday’s game with a forearm injury, and he’s questionable for Saturday night. Soto is hitting .318 with 17 home runs and 53 runs batted in; he owns a 4.1 WAR.

Dodgers at Yankees projected starters

RHP Gavin Stone vs. LHP Nestor Cortes

Stone (6-2, 2.90 ERA) is making his 12th start. The rookie has registered a 1.19 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 6.8 K/9 in 62 IP.

Last outing: Win, 5 IP, 0 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 6 K in 4-0 home victory vs. Colorado Rockies Sunday
Has never faced Yankees before

Cortes (3-4, 3.46 ERA) is making his 14th start. He has a 1.09 WHIP, 1.8 BB/9 and 8.8 K/9 in 75 1/3 IP.

Last outing: No-decision, 4 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 0 BB, 7 K in 7-5 win at San Francisco Giants Sunday
Career vs. Dodgers: 0-0, 0.00 ERA (2 IP), 0 H, 1 BB, 4 K in 1 relief appearance of 10-2 road victory Aug. 23, 2019
Has logged a 1.12 ERA at Yankee Stadium this season and a 2.34 mark over his last 165 1/3 IP at home

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dodgers at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 6, Dodgers 5

Moneyline

Stone has been getting by with generous rates around the margins and with an easy slate of opponents. The New York area will host another big sporting event Saturday, with Belmont Park hosting the Belmont Stakes. The since-Derby Day (May 4) Yankees own an .814 OPS (.833 at home).

Cortes has logged a 1.12 ERA at Yankee Stadium this season and a 2.34 mark over his last 165 1/3 IP at home.

TAKE THE YANKEES (-122).

Run line/Against the spread

Better value can be found on the ML; I would take New York minus the cushion at +165.

PASS.

Over/Under

Cortes is an extreme fly-ball pitcher and on Saturday does draw a Dodgers club which is above average against fly-ball types. And an outward breeze is expected at Yankee Stadium.

Look for the bats to push back after Friday’s low-scoring affair. Voyages deeper into the bullpens also should lead to an overall more representative batting performance.

TAKE THE OVER 9 (-102).

Los Angeles Dodgers at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Dodgers (39-25) and New York Yankees (45-19) meet for a high-profile interleague weekend showdown. The series opener Friday at Yankee Stadium is slated for 7:05 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: 1st meetings; Yankees took 2 of 3 last season

Los Angeles opened its current road trip at Pittsburgh and the Dodgers won 11-7 Thursday after losing 2 straight to the Pirates. LA scored 11 runs Thursday, but has not really been its normal juggernaut-offense self of late. Over 13 games from May 25-June 5, the Dodgers clocked a .719 OPS while averaging 3.38 runs per contest.

New York won 8-5 Thursday to sweep a 3-game series from the Minnesota Twins and the Yankees have won a season-high 8 straight games. Since May 12, the Yankees have gone 19-4 with a plus-68 run differential.

Dodgers at Yankees projected starters

RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs. RHP Cody Poteet

Yamamoto (6-2, 3.32 ERA) is tabbed for his 13th start. He has a 1.12 WHIP, 1.9 BB/9 and 10.5 K/9 in 65 IP.

Last outing: Win, 6 IP, 1 ER, 7 H, 1 BB, 7 K in 4-1 win vs. Colorado Rockies Saturday
Has never faced the Yankees
Has a 2.60 ERA on the road

Poteet (2-0, 2.45 ERA) is tabbed for his 3rd start. He has a 0.91 WHIP, 0.8 BB/9 and 8.2 K/9 in 11 IP.

Last outing: Win, 5 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 6 K in 7-3 win at San Francisco Giants Saturday
Has never faced the Dodgers
Has logged a 4.13 ERA, 1.22 WHIP across 21 career games; missed most of 2023 after having Tommy John surgery in 2022

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dodgers at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Yankees 4

Moneyline

Yamamoto has walked just 1.2 batters per start over his last 5, and that control will be key in keeping a powerful Yankees offense from getting out on the loose with its extra-base power.

Poteet, who is in the rotation spelling the injured Clarke Schmidt, likely brings a somewhat overrated and perhaps a bit fatigued Yankees bullpen too far into the equation for this series opener.

Consider a partial-unit play on the DODGERS (-120).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS: Better value can be found on this game’s ML.
